The Bookmark explores the idea that a few kind words can create a massive impact, and that small acts of kindness can add up over time to create something big.
This digital story recounts a transformative experience when I witnessed a stranger’s act of kindness that inspired me to pay it forward. The story illustrates how a simple gesture can create a ripple effect, encouraging others to spread kindness in their own lives.

They were once inseparable—laughing, sharing secrets, talking for hours. But then, she stopped replying. No explanation, just silence… and unanswered messages that slowly broke her heart. Because some goodbyes are unspoken.
I personally created screen recordings of a Telegram chat that depicts a conversation between friends.
Software Used: I used CapCut as my video editing software to create and edit the project.
Synopsis: A small puzzle piece wakes up in a strange world, unsure of where it belongs. As it journeys through various board games in search of connection and it nearly gives up, until it finds a puzzle with one missing space. Slipping into place perfectly, it discovers that sometimes, getting lost is how you find where you truly fit.
All video footage and stop-motion animation were shot and created by Amanda Pazos using materials from her personal collection. The scenes were built and animated frame-by-frame using the Stop Motion Studio app. I used the Stop Motion Studio app to capture and arrange the animation frames. Final editing, including trimming clips, syncing audio, and adding music, was completed in iMovie. Canva Pro was used to edit the credits.
Scrabble is a registered trademark of Hasbro, Inc. (in the U.S. and Canada) and Mattel, Inc. (elsewhere). This video includes references to the Scrabble® board game for illustrative purposes, in accordance with fair use principles. The material is used to support and enhance the video’s message, not to comment on the game itself. This use falls under Fair Use Best Practice Two: Using copyrighted material for illustration or example.
LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this video. I didn’t claim fair use for the LEGO pieces because no logos or branded elements were shown in the video. Since the pieces were used generically in my own original footage, it didn’t involve any recognizable trademarked content but I included a disclaimer just in case.
Synopsis: Finding a mysterious disk labeled “Play Me” in her mailbox, Sarah trusts her gut and throws it away. She’s seen enough movies to know that wouldn’t end well.
Description of Media:
I shot original footage for No Thanks on an iPhone 15. The text messages were created by using the built-in Screen Recording feature on IOS. For the creepy visuals, I used an excerpt from a previous project, Annunciation.
My partner Sarah performed the role of the main character and I provided additional dialogue for the phone call scene. I recorded iPhone texting, camera shutter, and Facetime sound effects using Voice Memos and the built in iPhone microphone. Audio from the iPhone footage was also used.
Warrior Beyond the Veil by Sinbad Adjuik is licensed under Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0).
Synopsis:
In first-person narration, I am a battle-hardened warrior abruptly pulled from a war-torn battlefield into an enchanted realm brimming with ancient magic, beasts, and forgotten power. My only goal is to return home—until the path forward forces me into far more. As I wander through mystical ruins, battle otherworldly foes, and confront memories of my former life, visions of my wife stir a longing deeper than survival.
In my darkest moment, a divine presence grants me clarity and strength. With a renewed purpose, I rise—not just to fight, but to protect this realm from an ancient evil. A final clash awaits against a towering dragon. My journey began with chaos, but ends with transformation: I am no longer just a warrior, but a guardian reborn.

I claim fair use for the use of one music track in this project (Midnight Trace by Jimena Contreras from the YouTube Audio Library). This use qualifies under Category 1: “Commentary or Criticism” of the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video. The music was used in a transformative, non-commercial, educational context, layered with original narration and visuals to support storytelling tone and pacing. It does not compete with the original market value of the track.
